Today's progress..

JJ0063 · 07-19-2014, 12:34 PM

Why I chose the hottest day of the year to fit these I do not know, anyway it's done & I think it's looking miles better. Just need to get rid of the last of the grey bits! Removed my gloss black wrap as I never really liked it & the silver looks great against black.

I've got a black centre console/arm rest in the post and a black dash I'm bidding on, on eBay. Then it's just the sill trims & parcel shelf til all the grey is gone!

Just for reference, changing a bmw e90 carpet is ****** difficult & I'm dead now, going go the pub for a meal!

Out with the old..

In with the replacement..

Il be happy when all the grey is gone but this in my opinion is a decent bit of progress considering I paid £40 for the complete interior & £30 for the black carpet

That looks miles better. Looks like a nice e90. Red and shadowline?

I have to say I don't even know what shadowline is!

This is the car:

Barbera Red if I'm not mistaken

Gorgeous colour in the sunlight!

Correct!

Any clues on what Shadowline is? It was referred to earlier & I have no idea what it is!

missed your reply. Its the black outline around the windows as opposed to chrome. Very nice car mate!

JJ0063 · 07-21-2014, 09:45 AM

Oh I see!

No idea then, it's as it came from the factory bar the fact I've wrapped the kidneys, pressed plates, wind deflectors & the replacement seats/carpet

Cheers

how did you do the carpet. im thinking of doing the same and getting rid of alot of beige in the car

JJ0063 · 10-29-2014, 06:13 AM

It was the hardest part!

All interior out, all side trims out, technically meant to have dash out too but I carefully cut my old one out as it was being binned, then on the new carpet I very carefully cut the joins under the centre console so it was in two halves (passenger & driver side) then placed the joins together so they sit together but are hidden under the console. Completely invisible once the console is in place
